Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray or rub oil into an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Drain and rinse beans in a colander.
- Cut polenta into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Make a layer with them in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle all of the arugula (or spinach) on top of polenta slices. Press down gently.
- Chop onion and place in a large bowl. Drain excess juice* from tomatoes then add to onion, along with beans, pesto, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
- Spread bean mixture over arugula (or spinach), patting down to fit. Top with goat cheese (or feta) and Parmesan.
- Bake (uncovered) 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand about 10 minutes before serving.
Recipe Notes
*Tip:
If using fresh tomatoes, cut each one in half and squeeze to remove juices. Scoop out some of the seeds as well. (The final dish will have too much liquid in it if you skip this step.)
VARIATION:
